The best protection any woman can have is courage

Today marks the observance of International Women’s Day, celebrating the achievements of inspiring women around the world. (This year, the theme of International Women’s Day is “choose to challenge”.)

The earliest Women’s Day observance was held on February 28, 1909, in New York; it was organized by the Socialist Party of America in remembrance of the 1908 strike of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. An annual “international women’s day” was first organized by the German socialist and theorist Clara Zetkin along with 100 delegates from 17 countries in March 1911.
